Trade Unions in the UK were initially established to protect the workforce from dangerous and exploitative working practices imposed by the employer, on the employee. In the mid-70's. unions took a grip on UK industry to such an extent that the situation became ridicules. After the Miners' strike in 1984, legislation was introduced which virtually neutered Trade Unions. I have always been a Trade Union member, but given Today's employment climate, your Union "Subs" would be just as well spent if you employed the services of a solicitor that specialises in employment law. ,

Trade unions are set up as mediators between companies and their employees. They usually have workplace based representatives (from the company) who will act as a "go between" with company management to resolve any problems that members have and also to negotiate annual pay increases. The more members a union has, the better a voice they will have for bartering. There is usually a very small monthly fee deducted from your salary for being a member.

In the seventies the unions virtually ran Britain - having great power and influence over the government (esp. Labour). Margaret Thatcher fought a long, bloody battle with them to curtail their power and these days they perform a much less influential role.
